Recipes for double wrapped dinners

I need some meal ideas that can be made, double wrapped, in an oven (and still not compromise quality).

So far, the only one I have is chicken and rice. Help

How about the chicken lo neon that you just cook the spaghetti and put in all the other ingredients in a pan then cover and bake...

Oh I didnt realize you cant have a step before it goes into the oven... You can definitely bake rice separately (without chicken) and you can make sesame chicken thats really good that you keep covered the whole time. You can also make chicken with potatoes, and ramom has a recipe for oven baked farfel that I make all the time with isreali couscous that also bakes covered.

This no-cook baked ziti is amazing: http://imamother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=117469&highlight=bakes+ziti

Sorry, I was thinking the spaghetti could be pre-cooked and then reheated in the pan.

Macaroni and cheese:
Empty 1 box macaroni into a 9x13 pan. Add 1 jar marinara sauce. Fill the jar halfway with milk and the rest with water. Add to the pan. Mix. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top or place on top about 8 slices of American Cheese. Mix.
Cover well with foil.
Bake at 400 for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

(this is the same recipe that is linked above)

shmaichul-- do you have a recipe for sesame chicken that's good covered? and how exactly do I prepare chicken and potatoes for covered cooking? (this sounds nice and simple which I like)

sherri- thanks!

oh great, this mac and cheese sounds simple and like something my kids would love!

spagetti & other noodles will cook double wrapped, just need enough liquid- water, sauce or milk(ie in mac & cheese or lasanya)

first time I met DH's family, had to cook whole dinner double wrapped: chicken breasts with mushrooms & slices of lemon, IIRC. frozen veggies in seperate pan. SIL's thought I was a nut, but a good cook, so I was accepted in the family, I guess.

use oil for cubed potatoes. wrapped potatoes, sweet potatoes & carrots do well too.

will need extra cooking time &/or bake 450 degrees--

doubling the pans makes it less awkward to unwrap--

remember you will need serving utensils & something to put hot pans down on--clean towels are a good idea for this.

bring some spices if you can.
